What should I do if I have a brain tumor, and how to treat a brain tumor?

For most brain tumor patients, the most direct and effective way is to undergo surgery. These procedures** include tumor resection, internal decompression surgery, external decompression surgery, and cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery. The resection of brain tumors can be divided into total resection of the tumor or partial resection of the tumor.

The principle of surgery is to remove the tumor as completely as possible on the basis of preserving normal brain tissue. In addition to surgery, radiosurgery and radiosurgery are also very important methods for patients with brain tumors. In addition, chemical drugs are also an important means for patients with malignant brain tumors.

When choosing chemotherapy drugs, it is necessary to choose drugs that can cross the blood-brain barrier, are not toxic to the central nervous system, and can maintain high concentrations in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid for a long time.

Tumours that grow within the skull are commonly known as brain tumors and include primary brain tumors that occur from the brain parenchyma and secondary brain tumors that metastasize to the skull from other parts of the body. Brain tumors tend to develop slowly. The first symptom may be increased intracranial pressure such as headache and vomiting, or neurolocalized symptoms such as muscle weakness and epilepsy.

Over the weeks, months, or years, symptoms increase and worsen. The onset of the disease is also more acute, and the patient suddenly deteriorates within a few hours or days, falling into paralysis and coma. Primary brain tumors are divided into benign and malignant according to their biological characteristics.

Benign brain tumors grow slowly, have a relatively complete capsule, do not infiltrate surrounding tissues and differentiate well; Malignant brain tumors grow rapidly, have no envelope, have no obvious boundaries, show invasive growth, and are poorly differentiated. Whether benign or malignant, it can squeeze and move normal brain tissue, causing an increase in intracranial pressure and threatening human life. The decision to perform surgery depends on the benign and malignant nature of the tumor, location and other factors.

Brain tumor, in fact, is a very broad concept, divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. It is usually discovered by magnetic resonance, and there are some initial hints of magnetic resonance.

Based on the MRI results, the neurosurgeon can decide on the surgical procedure, and the final diagnosis may be based on the pathological results after the surgery.

If it is a malignant brain tumor, there will be a corresponding method according to the type and grade of the tumor, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In general, there are many methods for brain tumors, and everyone should still be active, get better results, and have confidence.

Once a brain tumour is diagnosed, prompt progress** is essential. Early-stage malignant brain tumors are small and should be surgically removed if appropriate. If it is difficult to remove the cancer, radiotherapy can be given first, and surgery can be performed after the cancer has become smaller.

Brain tumor is a relatively popular term, in fact, it refers to intracranial tumors, mainly including neuroepithelial tumors, that is, glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, craniopharyngioma, and acoustic nerve sheath tumor. The method of ** for these tumors gives priority to surgery**, among which meningioma, pituitary tumor, craniopharyngioma and acoustic nerve sheath tumor are all benign tumors, and if they can be successfully removed, the goal of complete ** will be achieved. If it is not possible to remove all of them during surgery, adjuvant radiation should be given after surgery**.

Neuroepithelial tumors are basically malignant tumors, which cannot be completely removed during surgery, and should be combined with radiation and chemistry under the premise of surgical resection.

Brain tumors include primary brain tumors and brain metastases, and the best means is surgical resection, but due to the unresectable nature of normal brain tissue and the characteristics of extensive infiltrative growth of malignant tumors into the skull, it is extremely difficult to perform large-scale complete resection. Therefore, how to reduce the damage of brain tissue, protect the central function of the brain, and eliminate tumors to the greatest extent are still the research directions and goals of oncologists.

Because you don't provide specific information, you can only provide you with a theoretical ** plan:

At present, surgery is mostly used for brain tumors at home and abroad, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, X-knife, knife, etc., but most of them are difficult, malignant tumors have a short course of disease and rapid development, according to the degree of malignancy, how much surgical resection or the sensitivity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there are early and late, tumors that grow in important parts such as brainstem and thalamus are difficult to operate or cannot be operated, tumors after X-knife, radiation, etc. It is not easy to completely remove the brain tumor by surgery, but the brain tumor that grows in the brainstem and other important parts can only be partially or mostly removed by surgery, and the tumor will re-grow after surgery, and the average survival rate of intracranial malignant tumor after surgery and chemotherapy is less than one year, and the benign glioma, pituitary tumor, craniopharyngioma, cholesteatoma and other intracranial benign tumors are not easy to remove cleanly.

Analysis: For patients with brain tumors, it is the key to recover from the disease as soon as possible, for patients for many years, the condition is difficult to recover, so try to consult a doctor to follow the ** period, plus the later ** functional exercise, strengthen nursing, for the control and improvement of the condition has certain benefits, the probability of early ** is much higher, if it drags on for several years, the longer the hope!

Tips: The explanation of your question has ended, I hope Hua'an Brain Hospital can be helpful to everyone! For brain tumors, patients must go to a professional hospital for examination and examination, so as not to affect the effect due to some unnecessary factors.

Brain tumors are mainly surgically removed**. In principle, complete resection should be sought, and the meninges and bone invaded by the tumor should be removed in order to **. Brain tumors are tumors that grow outside the parenchyma, most of which are benign, and if they can be diagnosed early, surgery should be performed before the tumor has been damaged before the surrounding brain tissue, important cranial nerves, and blood vessels are damaged.

However, some advanced tumors, especially deep brain tumors, are huge, and the adhesions with the nerves, blood vessels, brainstem and lower thalamus are too tight, and these nerves and blood vessels are surrounded and are not easy to separate. It should be limited to subtotal resection of the tumor, reduce the tumor volume, and be supplemented by decompression surgery for brain tumors to reduce the compression of the tumor on the brain, relieve intracranial pressure, and protect vision. or with staged surgery.

For advanced tumors that cannot be removed by surgery, only decompressive surgery is performed after biopsy to prolong life. Malignant patients may be treated with radiation therapy. One week after the surgery, it is recommended to take the compound wall-breaking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder to boost immunity.

A few days ago, surgery is mostly used for brain tumors at home and abroad, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, X-knife, knife, etc., but most of them are difficult, the course of malignant tumors is short, the development is fast, and the number of surgical resection or radiotherapy and chemotherapy is sensitive according to the degree of malignancy.

The natural history of glioma is 42 weeks, which is very difficult, and neurosurgery is done relatively well, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and the lake in Tianjin.

Hello, the description of your condition is too vague, I recommend that you say it in detail, so that we can judge your current situation.

Brain tumor is a general term for brain tumors, which are generally classified as benign tumors, such as meningioma; Malignant tumors, such as more malignant gliomas. Therefore, the plan needs to be decided based on the nature of the tumor, as well as the location in the brain, as well as clinical symptoms.

For benign tumors without any clinical symptoms, due to the slow growth of the tumor, regular follow-up examinations are possible and surgery is not necessary**.

For malignant tumors, if there are no metastases to other sites, surgery** can be considered, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For malignant tumors that have lost the opportunity for surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, a symptomatic approach can be adopted to alleviate the pain of patients and prolong their lives. In addition, brain tumour is a general term for various types of brain tumors.
